Zhang Ziyi's Photo Scandal

A friend of mine asked: "What do you think about Zhang Ziyi's sex photos?"

I answered: "Oh, please. They are not 'sex' photos. They are nothing."

"Everyone rushed to take a look. As newspapers' photos were blurred, they ran for the Internet."

"This is what we called the peeping mentality. We all know that nothing is worth seeing but we just can't help and want to see something that we are not suppose to see, or something we wouldn't usually see."

"It's a bit immoral!"

"Of course it's immoral, but this is human nature.

"What a big loss to Zhang."

"Sir, your view seems to be too trendy. Don't you afraid of being criticised?"

"There is nothing to lose, in fact, she has intentionally or unintentionally created a star effect. She doesn't need to be hypocritical as she knew very well that this would happen."

"But many said she has offended public decency and some even called her an Asian prostitute."

"Are you expecting her to act like Joan of Arc or Empress Dowager Cixi on a nudist beach? Moreover, she seems so comfortable and enjoy exposing herself. Where can we find a prostitute who is so happy doing so?"

"Netizens scolded her for making Chinese lose face."

"How could she lose face on behalf of 1.3 billion Chinese? If they are so concerned about their faces, why not think about how to resolve the tainted milk scandal? They have a big face, really, as they even have a man who is believed to have eaten a four-year-old girl!"

"But she has lost the national dignity for being caught frolicking with a foreigner, right?"

"Would she keep her dignity if she was caught frolicking with Yao Ming or Liu Xiang? Unfortunately, I'm sure that neither Yao Ming nor Liu Xiang would be as romantic as Israeli billionaire Vivi Nevo."

"She must have been looked down by foreigners as the photos were circulated over the world."

"Not at all. Although she is not having a perfect body shape, she is slim and this is in line with the taste of many Westerners. However, if she wishes to do another exposure next time, it would be better to first have a three-month practice in a fitness centre and do yoga at home, so that she can amaze the public and surely, she wouldn't be looked down by anyone. "

"Sir, your view seems to be too trendy. Don't you afraid of being criticised?"

"Really, times have changed. It's not necessary to overreact to sex issue. We can be open-minded but a correct mentality is important. Zhang Ziyi was shot topless in a private place and her intimacy with her fiance is part of a normal life. Adults should not be too emotional when they see those photos and if children see them, just explain a little and take it as a sex education lesson."
